This is my first batch of beer. The guy at the store recommended a kit to start, so I chose a porter, (Muntons Gold Docklands Porter to be exact) of which the instructions were more or less add 1 gallon boiling water, 4 gallons cool water to bring temp to 65-75 degrees, and pitch the yeast. So I did. It was bubbling within 24 hours. I *did* accidently push the rubber seal into the bucket slightly so the seal was not airtight for the first 24 hours. When I found the problem and remedied it, it was bubbling right away. The fermentor has stayed at about 66 or 67 degrees F.
It is now 14 days later, and the airlock is still bubbling about every 30 seconds. I am anxious to bottle, but I don't want to ruin it. Is anything wrong, or should I jsut stop worrying and let it stop bubbling completely before moving on?
